450SE V1 blade grips

[Leebert]

I read one of Ashley's build's of the XL on www.trextuning.com when I was rebuilding my XL and he advocates NOT to loctite the bearings into the blade grips.

Is that cos the blade grips on the XL are plastic?

You could be right Lee.

My only experience is with the XL but it does have some movement in the blade grips but I have followed the build to the letter.

Hovers so smoothly I hope there isn't a further problem to stop me finally enjoying the Heli

Where's Ashley with the answer?

Cheers

Hmmm... I'd go with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and enjoy your XL

Ive not glued in any of the bearings, and mine is fine. now ive sorted out this tension issue on the feathering spindle.

I find im having to change them too often lol (note to self: stop crashing)

Now I am confused

pushing into the bladeholder from the back if I have understood this correctly shouldnt be a problem as was said before, the centrifugal force stops this from being any sort of problem. and as the inner bearings are larger than the outer ones their not gonna slide that way either.

Leebert, I notice you are not to far from me, were do you fly???

[Leebert]

Hi Nutz

I fly at Epsom Downs. Within the race course.

I didnt take the head off but I did try pushing the holders in and they didnt move, so i'm still a little stumped by this one.

had a little fly last night and was doing my first static flips with it, unfortunately they wern't that static, and it was windy, but practic wil make perfect. its definately easier in pheonix
